Highlights

BKNG trades below short- and medium-term moving averages, reflecting sustained bearish momentum in the current price action.

The stock is expected to remain in a $174 to $188 range with a significant probability of further decline absent a decisive breakout.

Bearish momentum persists as technical signals reinforce selling during the week

On the weekly chart, all main trend indicators confirm persistent downside momentum. The price is entrenched below both MA-20 and MA-50, indicating ongoing weakness, but stays above the MA-200, suggesting long-term support near $150.08. Weekly MACD remains strongly negative, ADX signals a weak overall trend, and the RSI continues to lean bearish without entering oversold conditions. Stochastic RSI flags caution, and Bull/Bear Power reveals a bearish divergence in short-term sentiment, with overall tone signaling more selling pressure. Weekly support is set around $174, with resistance emerging near $188; volatility hit 11.11% for the week.

Sideways outlook expected as indicators limit breakout chances for next week

Looking ahead to the next 5 trading days, BKNG is likely to fluctuate within a range of $174 to $188, reflecting historical volatility and technical positioning. The probability of an upside breakout is low, as none of the four main weekly indicators (RSI, ADX, MACD, CCI) support a reversal. The baseline expectation is for sideways action between the support at $174 and resistance near $188. However, a sustained close above $188 could attract short-term buyers, while a decisive break below $174 may renew selling pressure and challenge the long-term MA-200 support.

Anton Kharitonov, Traders Union expert, notes that Booking Holdings Inc. (BKNG) remained under pressure this week, falling 5.43% to $181.58. The stock stayed below both the MA-20 and MA-50, reinforcing a cautionary stance on the mid-term trend. Bearish momentum dominates, with MACD and ADX showing no signs of reversal and the RSI still pointing down. Support appears around $174, while resistance near $188 will be difficult to reclaim unless selling pressure eases. Kharitonov believes a sideways range is likely and sees limited reasons for optimism until technical signals improve. "As long as the price remains stuck below $188, I remain skeptical of any rebound in the coming week."

Previously it was reported that Booking Holdings faced rising downside risk and likely rangebound trading, with momentum indicators warning of potential exhaustion. This outlook is reinforced by the latest technical evidence of persistent bearish pressure, making the $174 weekly support a pivotal level to monitor for a possible shift in sentiment.
